I have torn my hair out trying to beat her in route 'G'. I think I've replayed the route nearly 4 times, which means I've fought her about 16 times.

Well, I can tell she's not really unbeatable...

Unless she's got an unlimited magic circuit attached to her. Which I know is NOT supposed to happen, looking at all the other videos on Youtube.

Those videos have her dealing max less than 2000 dmg for TWO shockwaves. I get knocked down to HALF health when hit with two-three shockwaves with her on unlimited magic circuit mode.

Using Shiki doesn't help, having ZERO projectile attacks.

It's not just her, every enemy I've fought since the end of the first route, 'Agitator', as had an unlimited magic circuit. Which obviously isn't supposed to happen.

I know there already is an unlimited magic circuit bug thread, but everyone there seems to think that's the norm, when it obviously isn't.

Any help to get rid of the unlimited magic circuit thingy? I've already tried reinstalling once.

It didn't work.

- Hold D when you enter arcade mode for a match with G-AKiha. This is kind of a time trial mode where you try to beat her as fast as you can. You'll know this worked because the character select screen will be red. Use this as many times as you like for practice against G-Akiha to develop some kind of strategy against her (which IMO is nearly impossible, but hey, it's worth a shot no?)

No, actually G Akiha is not supposed to have unlimited circuit.I have the same happen to me: after fighting someone with unlimited circuit, everyone would also have. The solution was to go back to the main menu and continue; or possibly exit the game and continue (maybe having some random match first and continue? I don't exactly remember what was needed, but there was some way to "reset" the circuit thing).

Also, to be able to fight G Akiha with D you need first to have beaten Arcade at least once.

It's been a while since I played ReACT, but as far as I remember, after you fought someone with unlimited circuit (generally the bosses), at least some times, everyone else in story mode would also have it. If only the last bosses had unlimited circuit normally, it would mean that starting story again would not be enough to solve this problem; maybe you had to have some match in vs mode, or maybe quit and restart the game? Or maybe starting some battle which opponent was not supposed to have unlimited circuit, returning to main menu, and continuing? Now I don't quite remember what I used to use to solve this, but there was some way.This also happened in the original MB, IIRC, but since that didn't healed anyone there it wasn't quite as grave or notable (though Nrvnqsr or Wallachia doing two or three Arc Drives per round was nothing to sneeze at). The solution was the same there, I think (though again I don't remember exactly what that solution was).

For me, basically everything began after the first route, 'Agitator', where you ended up fighting Vamp Sion with an unlimited magic circuit in the last battle.

She was killed off easily enough, and so I continued on to playing the other routes.

From that point on, EVERY character I faced in Story Mode had an unlimited magic circuit, whether it be first-battle-Sion or Chaos. That also meant that they healed immediately ANY red bar damage, which made fights tougher, but still manageable (until they began spamming EX moves).

Then G. Akiha with that magic circuit, PLUS the unbelievable amount of damage (Seriously. Half health with TWO shockwaves? You can't even get enough hits in to get Blood Heat) dealt by her was just too annoying.

I have stopped trying to complete the routes, hoping for a decent solution. Instead, I spend my time playing arcade/vs mode. Lol.

Reinstalled ReACT. Finished first route (the actual number 1) and the final boseses sure enough had unlimited circuit (up till here all normal). Immediatly after started story mode again and indeed Sion had unlimited circuit. Returning to main menu and continuing did not change anything; quitting then game and restarting it did: I continued and Sion had the normal 100%.So, if you have this problem, restarting the game should solve it.Or this happens every time you start MB? If so, the problem maybe is a different one from mine. Maybe you should finish some other route (that is, playing against someone who is supposed to have unlimited circuit), and then restart the game and start story mode? Or finishing some duel, or some arcade?

I tried what you did.

It worked.

Guess problem solved, Message. Thanks for everyone's help.

*Edit: Too early to celebrate I guess. In the G route that I'm playing, Akiha retains the problem, after fighting Sion. Of course, the same goes for the Hisui + Kohaku fight, the Ciel fight and so's the Kohaku fight.

So, G Akiha still is a pain. Sigh.

Nightmare as she was, though I'd hate to have to go through her again (which I know I have to). Sigh.

Problem still unsolved though.

demonblade, your problem still isn't at all clear. If you fight a character with unlimited circuit, and subsequent characters are stuck with unlimited as well, can you or can you not solve it by re-running the game and continuing your story mode?

And if everything else fails, you can lower the difficulty when against her.

IIRC, lowering difficulty doesn't affect Story mode, only Arcade.

Actually I've tested that thoery and it works though. I think there was two difficulty settings one for story mode, and the other for arcade. If you set the difficulty dwon when yo uface her she doesn't overdo her suppers as much. As for the Unlimited Circut Bar I haven't had may problems with it when I've played it though.
